DQ and DQS I/O pins
Cyclone device IOEs contain a bidirectional I/O buffer and three registers
for complete embedded bidirectional single data rate transfer. Figure 27
shows the Cyclone IOE structure. The IOE contains one input register, one
output register, and one output enable register. The designer can use the
input registers for fast setup times and output registers for fast clock-to-
output times. Additionally, the designer can use the output enable (OE)
register for fast clock-to-output enable timing. The Quartus II software
automatically duplicates a single OE register that controls multiple output
or bidirectional pins. IOEs can be used as input, output, or bidirectional
pins.
